Millions in Mexico Warned to Prepare for Evacuation as Volcano Closes Schools & Airports

Incandescent materials, ash and smoke are spewed from the Popocatepetl volcano as seen from thr Santiago Xalitzintla community, state of Puebla, Mexico, on May 22, 2023. Mexican authorities on May 21 raised the warning level for the Popocatepetl volcano to one step below red alert, as smoke, ash and molten rock spewed into the sky posing risks to aviation and far-flung communities below. Sunday's increased alert level -- to "yellow phase three" -- comes a day after two Mexico City airports temporarily halted operations due to falling ash.
